Scale Lab — A Constraint‑Driven Musical Exploration Tool
Created Scale Lab, a musical tool where users can only play notes and chords inside a chosen scale. The constraint removes friction and makes exploration intuitive—no “wrong” notes, just clean creative flow.

Imagine conducting ambient music in mid-air. It's like Minority Report, but instead of solving crimes you’re just gently adjusting your nervous system.
For #FigmaMakeathon I built Airwwave (AR) in #FigmaMake: a fullscreen performance instrument where gestures become live ambient soundscapes. It’s built to feel like conducting, not clicking.
Video is long because it’s a performance piece. I’m still hunting bugs, improving responsiveness, and cross browser performance until deadline.
Try it: https://airwwave.figma.site
Features: 28 ambient loops (hosted on Cloudinary), 12s fade in/out, 7-step LCD onboarding with 0–100% hold bar, 2-hand tracking + skeleton, 28 pads.
Gestures/FX: select + trigger, speed, reverb, octave, lock, stereo width + pan, tremolo/echo motion, filter resonance, volume shaping.
good work
I wanted to create something that practical designers could use for the #FigmaMakeathon.
Meet Depth, a new design tool that reimagines the "zoom” (pinch to zoom/Ctrl+scroll to zoom) as a progressive design inspection tool.
Each level reveals a different layer of your design. Structure. System. Intent. Three levels. One gesture.
Seeing the “why” behind each design has never been easier, even for stakeholders.
Inspect, copy tokens directly, and leave annotations anywhere.

P.S. You can also use hot keys:
“D” for toggling zoom or depth mode
“1”, “2”, and “3” for changing each separate depth mode.
upgoated , I came at it from the entirely other direction, the user experience to control design fidelity with pinch-zoom .
As I was credit limited so had to constrain things alot and dev tooling comes with a complexity cost that can burn budgets like crazy.

Pure flow state mehn. 😂 Building Whisper Play https://forest-broom-38564230.figma.site/in Figma Make was zero stress, just vibes. 🌀
It’s an elemental playground where you can interact with fire, water, acid, oil, and more to melt away stress. The Impressionist feature even shatters your own photos into these reactive elements.
For the sound, I included 13 preset tracks to set your vibe immediately, or you can customize the ambience to your exact taste. 🎧
This is my submission for the #FigmaMakeathon shaping culture through tactile play. 🚀
